Weddings can bring out the best — and the worst — in people. There are some people who simply mean to be helpful, but can be a little too helpful — and no, we're not talking about mothers of the bride or groom. Rather, there are three other family members who may be potentially troublesome.

Some mothers of the bride are hyper involved in helping plan their daughter's wedding day, while other MOBs prefer to take a back seat. No matter which category your mom falls into, there are certain duties she is traditionally responsible for handling.

Calling all grooms: Just because all eyes will be on your bride doesn't mean you can't stand out style-wise on your wedding day, too. Now, guys have more flexibility to express their personal style than ever before. Need proof? Look to the red carpet. From Matthew McConaughey and Ryan Reynolds to Jay Z, style-savvy male stars are proving there's more to men's fashion than just the standard black tux. But you don't need to be a celebrity to look like one on your wedding day. Here, we're breaking down how a groom can upgrade their aisle style.

Once upon a time, mothers of the bride were expected to wear matronly dresses in Easter-egg pastels or washed out shades of beige. Thankfully, that's in the past. Whether you're a bride who's hoping to help your mom find the perfect look or the materfamilias to the lucky lady herself, we've got the who, what, when, where and how of mother-of-the-bride dress shopping.

From too many people sharing their opinions to not being realistic about your budget, we asked the pros to tell us the most common mishaps that make a bride go into dress distress. Steer clear of these mistakes and we guarantee your bridal-gown shopping will be just as exciting as you imagined it to be.
